Python Pandas - Get the seconds from Timedelta object using integer input

To return the seconds from a Timedelta object, use the timedelta.seconds property. The seconds property extracts the seconds component from a Timedelta object when given integer input.

Creating a Timedelta Object

First, let's create a Timedelta object using integer input with unit 's' for seconds ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object with 50 seconds
timedelta = pd.Timedelta(50, unit='s')

# Display the Timedelta
print("Timedelta...")
print(timedelta)

Timedelta...
0 days 00:00:50

Extracting Seconds Value

Use the .seconds property to extract the seconds component from the Timedelta object ?

import pandas as pd

# Create a Timedelta object with 50 seconds
timedelta = pd.Timedelta(50, unit='s')

# Display the Timedelta
print("Timedelta...")
print(timedelta)

# Extract the seconds value
seconds_value = timedelta.seconds

# Display the seconds
print("\nTimedelta (seconds value)...")
print(seconds_value)

Timedelta...
0 days 00:00:50

Timedelta (seconds value)...
50

Working with Larger Values

When dealing with larger time values, the .seconds property only returns the seconds portion within a day ?

import pandas as pd

# Create Timedelta objects with different values
td1 = pd.Timedelta(3725, unit='s')  # 1 hour, 2 minutes, 5 seconds
td2 = pd.Timedelta(90000, unit='s')  # More than 1 day

print("Timedelta 1:", td1)
print("Seconds from td1:", td1.seconds)
print()
print("Timedelta 2:", td2) 
print("Seconds from td2:", td2.seconds)

Timedelta 1: 0 days 01:02:05
Seconds from td1: 3725
Timedelta 2: 1 days 01:00:00
Seconds from td2: 3600

Key Points

Conclusion

The .seconds property extracts the seconds component from a Timedelta object created with integer input. Use unit='s' to specify seconds when creating the Timedelta object.
